Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for reducing the level of pollutants from the exhaust of a diesel engine. More particularly, this invention relates to a process for reducing the level of pollutants such as NOx and diesel particulate emissions from the exhaust of a diesel engine wherein a water-diesel fuel emulsion is used as the fuel and an oxidation catalyst is used to treat the engine exhaust.
  • NOx is used herein to refer to any of the nitrogen oxides NO, NO 2 , N 2 O, or mixtures of two or more thereof.
  • Emission reductions are also being sought from the on and off-highway in-use fleets.
  • Within the heavy duty engine population it is becoming more apparent that older engines are contributing a disproportionate amount of emissions toward the overall mobile source emissions inventories. Many of these engines have useful lives of over 15 years.
  • reductions in NOx and diesel particulate emissions will need to be derived from the in-use, mobile source engine population.
  • the proposed or required emission reductions from the engines in use potentially represent an even greater challenge than the emission limits proposed for new engines.
  • Recent engine work focuses on improvements or incorporation of new technologies to the power cylinder, air delivery, fuel management, and electronic systems. These improvements typically satisfy the emission requirements of new engines. Some improvements can also be implemented during the engine rebuild process; however, internal engine modifications are not broadly and practically applicable to in-use fleets.

  • the washcoat layer on a metallic foil and on a ceramic substrate is illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3, and Figs. 2 and 4, respectively.
  • the washcoat may be applied to the metal or ceramic substrate from a water based slurry having a solids content of, for example, about 30% to about 50% by weight.
  • the wet washcoated monolith is then dried at a temperature of about 80°C to about 200°C, and calcined at a temperature of about 200°C to about 1000°C.
  • the thickness of the washcoat layer may be in the range of about 1 5 to about 50 microns, and in one embodiment about 20 to about 40 microns.
  • Thicker washcoat deposits 22 ("fillets") are formed in the cell corners, especially in the sinusoidal channels of metallic substrates.
  • the metal foil is washcoated prior to forming the honeycomb. In this embodiment, clean channels with no fillets in the corners are formed, but these tend to compromise the mechanical strength and durability of the monolith.
  • the ceramic monolith may be made of corderite, 2MgO•2Al 2 O 3 •5SiO 2 .
  • the ceramic monolith is comprised of a major amount (in excess of about 90%) of corderite and a minor amount of spinel.
  • the ceramic monolith may be manufactured using an extrusion process. Raw materials such as alumina, talc, clay (kaolinite), and silica are reduced to powder and blended into a water-based paste. Additives which may be added in the process include lubricants (e.g. ethylene glycol), bonding agents (e.g. methylcellulose), and fluxes (alkaline hydroxides). Extrusions made from the paste are dried and cut to the desired length.
  • lubricants e.g. ethylene glycol
  • bonding agents e.g. methylcellulose
  • fluxes alkaline hydroxides
  • Metal foil may be corrugated, catalyst coated, and folded into a package to match the housing or shell contour of the catalytic converter or converter muffler.
  • the metal may be steel or stainless steel.
  • the foil thickness may be in the range of about 0.04 to about 0.15 mm, and in one embodiment about 0.05 mm.
  • a slanted or "herring-bone” corrugation pattern may be used. The use of such a pattern makes it possible to use a single strip of foil.
  • the folded foil package may be placed into a housing or shell.
  • the catalytic species may be applied to the washcoat using techniques known in the art. These include impregnation, incipient wetness or capillary impregnation, electrostatic adsorption, ion exchange, and the like. Impregnation involves soaking the washcoated monolith in an aqueous solution containing a salt (precursor) of the catalytic element or elements. In one embodiment, the washcoated monolith is soaked in the aqueous solution and capillary and/or electrostatic forces distribute the salt over the internal surface of the porous network.
  • the salt generating the cations or anions containing the catalytic element are chosen to be compatible with the surface charge of the washcoated monolith to obtain efficient adsorption or, in some cases, ion exchange.
  • Pt(NH 3 ) 2 +2 salts can ion exchange with the H + present on the hydroxy containing surfaces of Al 2 O 3 .
  • Anions such as PtCl -2 are electrostatically attracted to the H + sites.
  • Electrostatic adsorption involves using a precursor salt that generates a charge opposite to that of the surface of the washcoated monolith.
  • the surface charge on Al 2 O 3 or SiO 2 is generally negative, so cations preferentially adsorb uniformly over the entire surface.
  • Cations such as Pd +2 , Pt(NH 3 ) 2 + , and others derived from nitrates or oxalate salts may be used.
  • Ion exchange involves the use of a cation salt containing the catalytic species which exchange with cations on the surface of the washcoat. This technique may be used when a zeolite washcoat is used.
  • the acid form of the zeolite (HZ) is first treated with an aqueous solution containing NH 4 + (NH 4 NO 3 ) to form the ammonium exchanged zeolite (NH 4 + Z - ).
  • This is then treated with a salt solution containing a catalytic cation forming the metal exchanged zeolite (MZ).
  • MZ metal exchanged zeolite
  • the finished exchanged zeolite is washed, dried and an aqueous slurry is then prepared for coating onto the walls of the monolith.
  • Incipient wetness or capillary impregnation involves dissolving the precursor salt of the catalytic element or elements in an amount of water equal to the water pore volume of the washcoated monolith, and soaking the monolith in the solution to distribute the solution over the washcoat surface.
  • the water pore volume is determined by slowly adding water to the washcoated monolith until it is saturated, as evidenced by the beading of excess water. Once dried, the washcoated monolith pore structure contains a predetermined amount of catalytic species.
  • a multiple catalyst system is used and a segreated washcoat is used to physically separate one or more of the catalysts.
  • the catalysts are separated to prevent undesirable reactions with each other, with washcoat components and/or with the metal or ceramic substrate.
  • the catalytic species may be separated by fixing each to a particular base metal oxide of the washcoat before the washcoat is applied to the metal or ceramic substrate.
  • An example of such a catalyst is a tri-metal system which includes Pt, Pd and Rh.
  • the first layer of the catalyst is composed of Pd/Al 2 O 3 .
  • the second (surface) layer is composed of Rh/Pt/Ce-Zr. This design prevents the formation of palladium-rhodium alloys which may cause catalyst deactivation.
  • the catalyst loading may be in the range of about 0.007 to about 2.65 g/l (0.2 to about 75 grams per cubic foot (g/ft 3 )) and in one embodiment about 0.18 to about 0.53 g/l (5 to about 15 g/ft 3 ).
  • One approach involves adjusting the pH of the solution used to precipitate the catalytic species in the pores of the washcoated monolith. For example, by presoaking Al 2 O 3 in a solution of NH 4 OH, the addition of an acidic Pd salt, such as Pd(NO 3 ) 2 , precipitates hydrated PdO on the surfaces of the pores within the carrier.
  • An alternative approach involves the use of reducing agents (e.g., formic acid) in the precipitation of the catalytic species as metals within the pore structure of the carrier. This method is advantageously used with precious metals because they tend to be easily reduced to their metallic states.
  • An advantage of the use of such reducing agents is that upon subsequent heat treatment such reducing agents tend to leave no residue.
  • the following test illustrates the inventive process.
  • the vehicle tested is a Euro II Olympian B10A bus which is mechanically fuel injected and equipped with an automatic gearbox.
  • the diesel engine has a maximum rated power of 183 kW at 2000 rpm, and 1050 Nm torque at 1450 rpm.
